It was large ring (48t) and small cassete (11t). Nothing funky going on in the cassette body that I know of. (My cassette is silent as a mouse but my buddy's Specialized is loud as a jake brake).

Again, I'll be curious to see where *I* feel the RD should be. I could probably get the LBS to check it out for free based on their last 'adjustment' but I'm not even so sure they care that much. I'm probably the better judge for myself, at least as far as where I would like to see that high limit be.
